8/9 (六)

以賽亞書 22:23-25

現代中文譯本(2019)

23 我要把他安置在穩固的地方,像用釘子釘牢一樣;他的全家要因他而顯耀。

24 「但是,他的家人和親屬要成為他的重擔。他們掛在他身上,像鍋和鏟掛在木釘上一樣。

25 有一天,那牢固的木釘會被砍掉,跌落下來;掛在釘子上的東西都要跌碎。」上主—萬軍的統帥這樣宣布了。

ESV

23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father’s house.

24 And they will hang on him the whole honor of his father’s house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons.

25 In that day, declares the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken.”

意象 

此處描繪的家居意象,無論是釘牢在地上的釘子,或是鉆在磚墻上用來擺設架子或是掛廚具的釘子,對伊萊賈敬而言都是就職禮儀的步驟。這類意象起源於古代以色列的農村文化,因為耳熟能詳,反而具有那種力道來比喻傑里邁亞的受召:「拔出、拆毀、毀壞、傾覆、建立、栽植」(耶一10)。

古代近東文學最為人所知的就任典禮是《埃努瑪埃利什》中,瑪爾杜克擔任巴比倫的眾神之主。其中宣告瑪爾杜克的命令不可更改,而他為眾神所設定的界線也不容觸犯。
